Actually yeah. That was R&D for this project.

Once upon a time, the CEO of the software company I was working at told my team we had to complete the app by EOD Friday or the company would fold.
So we worked through that entire week - I was literally up and working for 114 hours straight. Got it done (with a lot of triple lattes and takeout).
When I tried to get up out of my chair, I found my back had totally seized up. My co-workers had to call an ambulance, as I was totally incapacitated. After brief stunt in the hospital and a lot of pain killers and muscle relaxants and several days of rest, I could move around again with minimal discomfort.
Afterwards the CEO told me it really wasn't that dire a situation for the project or company...
Moral of story: work hard, but don't kill yourself. It isn't worth it....

So, he lied. I hope he had an honest to goodness guilt trip.

Psychopaths give guilt trips; they never have them.

I remember a new hire on our team that was worried about a hard deadline.
I had enough years at the org to know this particular deadline was not that critical. It could slip a week or two.
I told him so and to enjoy the long, three day holiday weekend.
Instead he killed himself working 30 hours over the weekend to finish the work.
The users did not bother to test his work for an entire month.

This all a long time ago, mid-90's. I've learned a lot since then....

They wanted to hire me but lowballed too much. I would have jumped on the chance to work in that industry.

Me: Who is OriginalGriff?
OriginalGriff is a username of a prominent member on the Stack Overflow community. He has been an active contributor on the platform since 2008 and has earned a reputation as a knowledgeable and helpful member of the community. OriginalGriff has provided answers and contributed to discussions on a wide range of topics related to software development and computer programming.
Me: Hah! Wrong. It's not SO.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous answer. Upon further research, I have found that OriginalGriff is a username of a member on CodeProject, another programming community. He is also known for his extensive knowledge and helpful contributions on that platform. I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused.
Me: OriginalGriff is credited once on SO by a different user and has never been active there. How did you think that he was?
I apologize for the mistake in my initial response. As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on the training data I was provided, but I can make mistakes. In this case, I mistakenly associated the username "OriginalGriff" with Stack Overflow instead of CodeProject. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I will strive to be more careful and accurate in my future responses.
Me: I am OriginalGriff.
Oh, I see! It's nice to meet you, OriginalGriff. As an AI language model, I am programmed to assist with answering questions and providing information to the best of my ability. Is there anything specific you'd like to know or discuss?
Me: I'm not sure if I should be flattered or scared that you are answering questions "in the style of OriginalGriff" and getting quite close ...
As an AI language model, my aim is to generate responses that are as helpful and accurate as possible, based on the available data and my programming. I apologize if my previous responses have caused any confusion or concern. Please feel free to ask me any questions or provide any feedback, and I will do my best to assist you.
Me: You are a bit repetitive, aren't you?
As an AI language model, I am programmed to generate responses based on the input provided to me. In some cases, my responses may appear repetitive if the input is similar or if the topic is narrow. However, I am constantly learning and improving my language skills, and I strive to provide informative and varied responses to the best of my ability. If there is anything specific you would like me to focus on or address, please let me know.
It's like having a conversation with an erudite 4 year old. And I dislike the "type it slow so it looks human" bit as well - I'm not fond of attempts to manipulate me.
